"I know your work is over. Come out quickly. I'll wait for you under the HXTV building." Xia Zeqi's tone was still cold and commanding, with no room for negotiation at all.

Xin Nanyi frowned, reluctantly explained a few words, and asked Wang Xiaoming to take them to lunch.

As soon as Xin Nanyi went downstairs, he saw He Li who had been waiting for him at the door. Although Xin Nanyi looked normal, he ignored He Li and walked forward hastily. He Li followed patiently. Because there were fans squatting outside, He Li didn't follow very closely and kept a distance of four to five meters.

As soon as Xin Nanyi came out, a Mercedes Benz honked several times. It was not the Audi that Xia Zeqi often drove, but Xin Nanyi walked over, quickly opened the door, and got in.

As soon as Xia Zeqi saw that the person was seated, he turned the steering wheel several times and drove out of the parking space and ran onto the road.

He Li stopped following Xin Nanyi as he walked towards a car. He sighed slightly, then raised a sunny smile and waved hello to the fans on his side. After receiving the small gifts one by one, he walked to his company car.

When Xin Nanyi got into the car, he was already feeling uneasy. He didn't know why he felt this way, as if he had been caught as a thief.

He secretly glanced at Xia Zeqi next to him, and felt even more uneasy when he saw the protruding veins on his forehead and neck and the cold, thin lips drawn into a line.

"Zeqi..." Xin Nanyi said carefully.

Xia Zeqi didn't respond and drove toward the suburbs in silence.

Xin Nanyi was embarrassed for a while, and then explained incoherently, "That man is a psycho. He insists on saying that I look like a friend he liked before. He suddenly appeared next to me, and I... it was too late for me to avoid him, and I don’t like men, so I definitely don’t want to come into contact with him..."

Suddenly, Xia Zeqi braked hard.

Xin Nanyi was pushed forward and then pulled back by the safety belt on his body.

Xin Nanyi quickly calmed down and looked at the vast road in front of him and then behind him. There was no one or anything at all. During this period of time, there were often no people or cars passed by on this road.

"Zeqi, what's wrong with you? You didn't hit anything in front?" Xin Nanyi looked at him confused.

Xia Zeqi turned to look at him with red eyes open, veins popping out of the hand holding the steering wheel, and asked through gritted teeth, "If that man were me, would you not like it too?"

Xin Nanyi was so frightened by Xia Zeqi's appearance that he lost the ability to think. He just instinctively replied by relying on conditioned reflex, "Yes, I don't like it."

Xia Zeqi got the answer so quickly. He was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to find his voice, "Really, you don't like it?"

Xin Nanyi's heart was stabbed hard by the hurt in Xia Zeqi's tone. He lowered his head and understood what Xia Zeqi meant. He didn't expect that Xia Zeqi had such thoughts towards him. He was obviously a straight man, how come he was so able to attract that kind of crowd?

"Yes, no, I like women." He had never been in love in his previous life, and he had never been attracted to any woman in this life, but he still firmly believed that his sexual orientation was women.

Xia Zeqi was like a deflated balloon, slumped on the seat, his eyes were dejected and his tone was weak, "Okay, I understand."

Xin Nanyi raised his head and glanced at him. As soon as his eyes met the listless face, he felt heartbroken and quickly lowered his head.

There was silence in the carriage for a long time. Finally, Xia Zeqi asked, "Where are we going to have lunch?"

Xin Nanyi looked up and saw that he had returned to his usual cold demeanor towards others.

"Why, am I not qualified to invite you to have lunch with me as a friend now?" Xia Zeqi laughed at himself, and that faint smile could not melt the ice and snow on his face.

"...just Shanhe Restaurant on Dongfeng Street. I will take them to an advertising agency to shoot a commercial later, which is closer." Xin Nanyi said softly with a warm tone while secretly tracing Xia Zeqi's expression.

"Yeah." Xia Zeqi nodded and quickly turned around.

During lunch, the two of them ate their meals in silence, like two strangers sharing a table together. Countless times, Xia Zeqi picked up Xin Nanyi's favorite dish, and when he was about to hand it to him, his hand paused, his heart was tugged, and he stuffed the dish into his mouth again. It seemed that he really needed to change some habits.

In silence, the two finished their meal, and Xia Zeqi drove him to the advertising agency.

When Xin Nanyi was about to get off the car, Xia Zeqi finally couldn't help but hold his hand, with pleading and sadness in his tone, and said, "Even if you can't accept it, don't hate me, okay? I can keep my distance. The distance between friends."

Xin Nanyi couldn't bear to push his hand away and simply said, "I don't hate you."

Xia Zeqi slowly let go of his hand, returned to his expressionless look, and looked ahead.

Xin Nanyi frowned, gritted his teeth and got out of the car, tried hard not to look back, and walked into the advertising company.
